Plan ahead: Wednesday's evening commute to/from Denver a real mess

A note for any local readers who work in Denver, or Denverites who work up north, the first of the presidential debates will be on Wednesday at the University of Denver.

In addition to security for the candidates, thousands of members of the media and attendees will be headed to the event.

But most importantly for Front Range commuters, six miles of I-25 will be closed for five hours. From 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., the interstate will be completely closed between Santa Fe Drive to Hampden Avenue.

Detours will be posted, but it may be better to plan ahead (and even better to avoid it altogether). More information is available at http://coloradodot.info/news.
